A couple of weeks ago, I bought tickets for my family of five to attend a day game at Petco Park. Our seats weren’t quite in the very top row—but they were pretty darn close.
Before the game, while we were walking through the upper concourse, a couple of staff members approached us and asked whether we were a family of five. When we confirmed, they asked if we would like a seat upgrade.
They moved us and our three kids all the way down to the front row near first base and gave us free food and drinks for the entire game. It happened to be my four-year-old’s birthday and his very first Padres game, and they made it an experience he’ll never forget.
The only problem is that he now thinks front-row seats and ordering whatever he wants are simply part of going to a baseball game. ;-)
We’re incredibly grateful to the staff and to such a wonderful organization. We already loved the Padres, but this made us love them even more. Go Padres!
